    Hi guys, Just wondering how the weather effects your systems? I know heat and amps dont mix well but do your subs like warm weather more?

    Hi. I just got into car audio and I have a possibly stupid question. Lets say I have two subs rated at 500W RMS each and an amp rated at 1000W RMS. Do the subs share the load, making it a 1000W total or will that overpower the subs? Thanks. :)
